Up to 1.5 million uninsured New Yorkers are projected to obtain coverage in NY, taking a substantial bite out of the state's 2.5 million uninsured. Getting this many New Yorkers' aware of what's going to soon be available and getting enrolled in a health plan through the new Heath Exchange will be a very daunting task. Social workers will play a critical role as service providers and advocates (regardless of setting) at the individual client and policy levels. This forum will bring social workers up to speed about what is known and will identify the questions that have not yet been answered. Moderator:
